Thanks to Ed for spotting this for me, (although he has ruined my most recent attempt to get the numbers down )

Always liked the look of the bike in this ad:

I thought it would make a cool project so I've been looking for the frame for ages then one pops up, not just the frame but the rare as Ritchey fork too!

I have the tyres and the Suntour stuff, just been on eBay and picked up a Ritchey post and a Marin Ti stem which some helpful chap has already lopped the roller off just like the one in the pic so this is almost there.

Now I just need decals that Gil_m is on with... and a white Avocet R1 saddle which is going to be a complete bleeper to find.

Nice score I too have that picture on the back of some New Cyclist magazines from the early 90's. I too like this pic . . mainly the track that he has just spent the morning climbing, a little peice of string from the height he is!!

I just about got a TI frame as I was searching Inorganic/kerbside rubbish collection for bikes, I saw it sticking up in this pile I jumped out grabbed it and noticed it was broken,fixable ?. . I think it was repairable, anyway this scrap metal collector walks up to me says nothing and just rips it out of my hands and throws it on his truck??!! I was in his face straight away, this dude was huge and I did not want to have to go home to my son with a happy but bruised face! So I regrettably backed down I am still regretting not jumping on the truck! Any way nice frame I too will be watching this one.
